Kindergarten Graduation {and other wild tales}

This page may contain affiliate links.

Sarah Graduation Collage WM

Littlest graduated from kindergarten this week. A milestone for sure. I fought back tears, replacing each one with a flood of praise for our favorite kindergarten teacher and the church school we’ve called home for a decade. Pre-school isn’t just for toddlers, you know. I’ve been raised up, too, by godly women who pour love, faith, and Christ’s light into every activity from playground popsicles to Christmas pageants.

SarahBible WM

The morning after she finished kindergarten, I walked into the kitchen to find Sarah reading her new Bible on my prayer couch. She told me God had a plan for her life and she wanted to read the whole story so she’d know what it was. She also told me she didn’t know Eve was a girl. I was confused and asked why she thought Eve was a boy. Sarah’s reply? Well mommy, since she sorta messed everything up by eating the apple I just figured Eve was a boy. Boys are always getting into trouble and stuff.

Thumb post surgery WM

Aside from kindergarten graduation, I’ve had better weeks. I started this week off in the ER with a massively sore and swollen thumb. Tuesday I had surgery to remove the infection (cellulitis) that somehow lodged in my thumb. The whole turn of events is really quite odd and the only explanation the surgeon gave? You got poked.

I would love your prayers for complete healing. . .cellulitis can be scary and we are praying all the bacteria is gone!

Our little cabin in the woods is finished! My sweet friend Ginger emailed me this picture of Serendipity at the YMCA of the Rockies. We are counting the days until our family gets there. And, if you happen to stay in Serendipity this summer, we’d love to hear from you.

Don't Fence Me In {Snow Mountain Ranch, YMCA} WM

My monthly Y-Story column is on creativity this month. Shhh… don’t tell, but I was still a little hopped up on anesthesia when I wrote the post on Tuesday. Pretty please won’t you stop by the YMCA of the Rockies blog and leave a comment letting me know how you hope to spark creativity this summer? Reading your comments always makes my day!

Grateful for each of you.

Love,

    I actually laughed out loud after reading Sarah’s explanation re: Eve being a boy. It makes sense if you think about it. lololol

    Thinking of you Kristin. It’s amazing how something as small as a thumb doesn’t seem so small when going through something like you’re going though. Errr did that even make sense?!?!

    Get some rest my friend and make sure to ask for help. You’re body will thank you for it.

      Thank you friend. You’ve been more help than you know! {Like coming to the rescue when I forgot to pick up a child! In my defense, it was the dumb evite app to blame! }

    The comment about Eve being a boy cracked me up!

    Where-ish is Serendipity located at the Y? So excited for you! And that snowy picture is from Snow Mountain Ranch, right?

      Megan,

      If you have an old Y map, Serendipity is the former Waco Cabin. At the base of Mountainside Drive. Will you be there this summer? Can’t remember what you told me. And, yes the fence photo was taken at Snow Mountain Ranch on our trip over spring break. xoox, K

    I was just searching for pictures of Serendipity on the web when I found this post. We will be staying there this summer and can’t wait to see all the renovations. We’ve stayed in Waco twice already. The view from the living room has to be one of the best at the Y. Counting down the days until we get there!

      Angie,

      What a small world! We can’t wait for you to enjoy Serendipity! I’m going to email you. WE LOVE knowing you’ll be at the YMCA!

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
